Abstract: An ignitor and associated electronics for igniting a combustible mixture in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine are described. The ignitor includes at least two spaced-apart electrodes that define a discharge gap. The space between the electrodes is substantially filled with a dielectric material. The dielectric material is spaced-apart from at least one of the electrodes to provide an air gap over which an initial voltage breakdown between the electrodes will occur. The air gap serves to vary the location of the initial breakdown and as a barrier to a short circuit between the electrodes due to carbon and/or metal deposit buildup on the dielectric material. The associated electronics provide a first potential between the electrodes that generates a plasma between the electrodes. Then the volume of the plasma is increased by the application of a second potential that creates a current through the plasma. The plasma, as well as the current passing through, is swept outward due to the interaction of Lorentz and thermal expansion forces with the plasma. Also described are relative orientations of the electrodes that lead to greater plasma formation.

Abstract: A series resonant inductive pickup has a bi-directional solid state switch in series with an inductor and a capacitor is controlled by switch control elements capable of causing the switching elements to repetitively be in either an open or a closed state, so that by varying the closed: open ratio of the switch the time-averaged amount of power picked up by the power pickup can be controlled. Switch is controlled by output of a voltage comparing circuit. A reference voltage source provides a basis for comparison of some fraction of a supply voltage in order to cause the switch to operate. The magnitude of capacitance in relation to the current drawn by the load determines the repetition rate of ON or OFF commands to the switch. If the current drawn by the load tends to zero, the proportion of time during which the switch is open will tend to 100%.

Abstract: A capillary pathway is dimensioned so that the driving force for the movement of liquid through the capillary pathway arises from capillary pressure. A plurality of groups of microstructures are fixed in the capillary pathway within discrete segments of the pathway for facilitating the transport of a liquid around curved portions of pathway. Capillary channels can be coupled between two adjacent groups of microstructures to either the inner and outer wall of the capillary pathway. The width of each capillary channel is generally smaller than the capillary pathway to which it is connected, and can be varied to achieve differences in fill initiation. The grouped microstructures are spaced from each other within each group on a nearest neighbor basis by less than that necessary to achieve capillary flow of liquid with each group. Each group of microstructures are spaced from any adjacent group by an inter-group space greater than the width of any adjacent capillary channels connected to the capillary pathway. Generally, the microstructures are centered on centers which are equally spaced from each other, and microstructures that are located closer to the inner wall of any curve in the capillary pathway are generally smaller than the microstructures located closer to the outer wall. This combination of structural features causes fluids to flow through the capillary pathway so that the rate of flow is somewhat non-uniform as the fluid travels around curved portions of the capillary pathway, the meniscus appearing to pause momentarily at each inter-group space, the flow being somewhat slower near the inner wall of a curved portion than near the outer wall. <IMAGE>
